There would be no adverse impact on the character and appearance of the property within the street scene, or to the character and appearance of the surroundings and the Conservation Area. The application accords with the provisions of Housing Policy 11, Environment Policies 10, 13, 22, and 23, Business Policy 13, General Policy 2 and Community Policies 7 and 11 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, and is recommended for approval.
